. >> you make a really good point, mel. the reality is this, that's a 2% move, every single day, s&p, 2% move, every single day so i think that's the part that is amazing to me is the fact we are up at it he's levels and you're 100% right mel going into the weekend obviously you start to price in saturday, sunday, what's going to happen monday, well, if it's at a 31 actually mel, that's telling you now that we were actually somewhere towards the middle 30s, 33, 34 going into this whole thing as we got closer to the end of the day. the thing that stands out for me, we were talking about commodities, the speed at which we see this movement in crude, in copper, in gold, name your commodity, has been absolutely extraordinary. and we all obviously know some of the different spots where russia does have a very, very big stronghold, it's not in crude. but crude's been on this run and it wasn't because of ukraine-russia, it's been over a year, stating when the president got into office, that's something people continue not to embra

but i'm certainly more cautious than in the past, mel. i will give a great example, i have not found opportunity to buy stocks in the portfolio even when we were at the lower end of what's been a pretty interesting first quarter of the year. just because i'm just not convinced. and because of that i'm doing a lot in the options world but doing very, very little in terms of longer-term when i say that, if i were a little bit more bearish i probably would have looked for stocks i thought made sense on the selloff. i haven't found that so i remain cautious but it's a great trading environment. i really don't know that i've seen a better trading environment since i've been a trader since 1992. so that gives a little bit of an idea this has really been remarkable, whether talking oil one day, technology the next, semiconductors the next, and by the way, can go to the uranium space. wherever you want the to go, there's been incredible opportunities for trade. but that being said, i still think you have to be very cautious. >> pete makes a reall

>> mel can you read my smart board please. >> gary cohen # gdc. >> yes, as you know, mel, typically,ree certainties in life, death, taxes, and my jump shot i will add a forge never bet against gary cohen now a year in as chair at ibm if anyone can figure it out it's gdc. >> i'm a buy. >> wow. >> i think it's a nice, solid line drive up the middle doesn't need to be a home run but if you think of ibm they found a way to give you mid-single digits revenue and more importantly giving you 10 to 15% free cash flow yields in this environment is defensive. >> what's your vote, karen >> yeah, so i'm with the boys there. this is a not so clever incorporation of the ibm logo to say i buy. i like cheap valuation is always interesting, to me, hopefully she's right about software and better margins, so, interesting risk-reward. >> steve grasso. >> it's a sweep. >> wow. >> it's a sweep and i think it could really turn into a growth company where everyone looks at this as a secular bear story from 200 down to the recent levels and starting to build the base, if they change the narrative, i think it

. >> oh, so many >> one of the games is if you had told me 24 hours ago, mel, what would happen. >> one of our favorites. >> one of my personal favorites. >> mine too. >> lying like a rug. given the rally last week tim alluded to, if you were to tell me the comments out, 12:45 b.k. was watching him easily the s&p down 80 handles given what we saw last week in the rally. at one point the s&p was down 25, 30 handles and it's a remarkable day we could say that the bond market is pricing us all but i'm here to tell you, there is no way the equity is pricing. >> and volatility was down in a world where i've always said more fed equals more volatility, i don't feel very rewarded by that statement right now. >> what do we need to do, and i use we, like the royal we, or we as in the markets, we brian kelly, if we are to believe that 50 basis points, even maybe more than 50 basis points can happen the next couple of meetings, what do we need to price in at this point what is not priced in? >> well, there is a couple of things not priced in number one is earnings downgrades, right? we haven't see

. >> i'm sorry, mel. >> dan >> yeah. so, i mean here is the deal. we through $4 trillion at this pandemic and growth has been pushed back you know quarter after quarter. we've just seen in the reopening trade, the send half of 2020 was supposed to be great second half of 2021 was supposed to be great. the second half of 2022 was supposed to be great here is the deal i've never traded the market or been in an economy where there is so much uncertainty as there is right now and we spent the last few weeks or months scratching our heads talking about all of the different diverges in the market that are telling anybody who has any history that something is going on here. the invasion as guy just said of ukraine has sped up a lot of the forces and so i can't tell you that i was not on the same side as the fed with their transitory commenty for the better part of 2021 as it relates to inflation. they obviously got that wrong. anybody in that camp got that wrong. but here they are now and you know what, they threw $4 trillion, okay, of their balance sheet

>> mel was on -- he was on the zoom. he was on the zoom.on the upshaws. so i go back and forth. he is funny, man. he is sharp. >> jimmy: he is crazy funny. >> yes, yes. yeah. >> jimmy: and not even the tiny bit less funny than he was 40 years ago. >> absolutely. >> jimmy: it's remarkable, right? >> yeah. >> jimmy: you just want to touch him and see if any of him will get on you, right? >> exactly, yeah, yeah. it's like man, if i -- you just think about it. he is 95 i believe? >> jimmy: in that neighborhood, yeah, yeah. >> you just think about that. if you're that old and can still be that just damn funny. >> jimmy: i'm glad he is on zoom for a lot of these things. >> right. >> jimmy: because you don't necessarily want him in a crowded room. we need him around. >> no, we don't. >> jimmy: you don't ever sneeze on him or anything? >> no. exactly. going to put him in bubble wrap, basically. >> jimmy: is there anything more rewarding than when he likes one of your ideas? >> what's better than that? >> jimmy: what could be better than that. >> ye

that's part of what would potentially hold us back, mel, is when you bring up half-point moves, i think that's something that will actually slow down the markets to some degree i think obviously the financials will probably do pretty well but i think that would slow things down in a rapid pace if they did four in a row! oh, i can't imagine. i think that would really, really be something that would effect the markets in a very big way >> in the meantime with -- i mean, we were talking on the 12:30 call, wage inflation has been a huge driver of higher input cost with inflation rising you to can have more people in the workforce to bring a better balance to the labor force, tim. >> i think that's right but i'm concerned the jobs aren't going to be there. the labor cost are a lagging effect the services inflation is a lot stickier there will be a lot of employers especially if we see follow through from $130 oil prices and where we where with the inflation chain. i think some employers will hold back on those jobs, people living off the government right now will not see those jobs later in

>> it's been extraordinary nice green, mel, on st. patrick's day. >> i forgot. >> well, it's disappointing. this fun comes out once a year -- we're off 6% bottom on monday s&p. about 8.5% nasdaq 12% on semiconductors. i think it's more a function what sold off. if you look at what was working it was high-multiple stocks, crowdstrike, roblox, i bet it was up by more than 5%. it does tell you there was more risk on to the markets that's where the extreme pessiminism was in stuff that may not be out the woods yet but no question we were set up for a very interesting bounce. that's the big debate, is too early for growth or too late for growth for some of the names that's really the story but no, i don't think you should be buying those with two hands >> i guess if you believe the narrative that fueled growth stocks before, karen, that is the economy may be slowing and you want names with idiosyncratic growth, that will grow no matter what. is that what is feeding this rally this week. >> i'm still confused from yesterday's rally, i haven

"mad money" with jim cramer starts right now >> my mission is simple, to make you money. i'm here to level the playing field for all investors. there's always a bull market somewhere

. >> i think that's part of it, mel, the other part, everybody talked about krcredit exposure that's huge and we talk about volatility, it's there, we popped all the way to 35 today before pulling back to 33. then you look at volumes, volumes have been there, derivatives, well over 40 million contracts on average a day, that's huge the velocity of the moves is really something i talked about it last night, the last 22 minus of the day yesterday and look at the 10-year today. that's a pretty dramatic move to watch the 10-year. friday we were just over 2 two days later on tuesday we're under 1.7. as tim pointed out there's a lot of movement going on and that's part of it the combination of all that is makingthe banks seem a little bit more fragile i talked about it on the halftime as well, when you look at jpmorgan it was stretched, no one wanted to admit it, it was trading over 160 we all love jamie diamond, all of that is great, right, but at two times book that becomes more and more expensive and there's a reason for some pull backs and specifically in some of the names why they are

. >> i'm sorry >> go ahead, guy >> i'm sorry, mel. that 138 level, that's the level we saw on october 4th and then we had a significant bounce. pete is looking at this exactly the right way. use volatility as your friend, but it also suggests you probably have further room to the downside so 138 lines up really well and it should coincide with an s&p 5 h 00 that might get down to the 4,000. >> coming up, musk, publicly defending ukraine as russia's invasion moves on. they haven't cut all of their ties first, moderna surging more than 8% as covid cases spike in china. inside the numbers next. do not go anywhere "fast money" is back in two. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ your shipping manager left to “find themself.” leaving you lost. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire at vanguard, you're more than just an investor, you're an owner with access to financial advice, tools and a personalized plan that helps you build a futu

>> yeah, you had me at doritos, mel. we talked about consumer sentiment and consumer trends. and some of those have changed you have an elevated number of consumers no longer in the workforce, no longer making themselves eligible. you can argue because of federal help or because of skills that they learned or independent contract status, things of that nature, we talk about the savings rate i think that one thing that is being underestimated is that there are differences in how the consumer is postured robin hood have made access to public markets more available than ever. and that coupled with the higher savings rate and addition into home ownership, i think postures the consumer slightly differently. the move over to services also means that you're not tapping into credit markets, interest rates and all the other dynamics that are part of the financial system to make your purchases. i think that also has some trickle down effect. the last thing i'll say in terms of a bit of disparity between indicators and things i don't think are being taken into consideration, you look at

and since the start of the boy has probably sunk feather because lucas allowed to use mel route as a base to launch attack on ukraine. so without this political and economic support from pu 10 and from russia, lucas yankee can that relates to as they had of state. so it is therefore quite likely that if we can boost him into our taking bell origin troops to the war, he may not be able to resist it. and as he said, describes them as having no added value. but if he does need these troops at some stage, because this war is dragging on, what would it mean for the war? well, i don't think it will make a huge difference. there are other aspect to considering the morale of would be very low within the region, troops to fight at public service that was released just before the war showed that over 60 percent of bella, rouge and thoughts that delivers participation. and this would be a catastrophe for the country. and since the war has been at least, i'm sure that this figure is once even higher, beller russian soldiers, they don't really want to get involved. and they think it's actually qu

and like they have food for several days more and what are they, mel snow and they take what's it from a date or system? and that's a life of 350000 people in mario ball. and when russia say, well you, i'm going to charge the corridors. it's total to ship because they love $2424000.00 people go from from murray. but there is more than 300000 people without food medieval. you'll see each andrea wounded. we hear positive signs from the talks between ukrainian or russian negotiators. i'm what are you hearing you positive about what you've heard? you know, i'm personally mean of course we are trying to do diplomatically everything we can . but personally, me was the experience for 12 years leaving during pupils and you were george, human and moscow. i didn't trust you guys. and they, i'm not going to find the diplomatic decision. now the just trying to start the hunger in mario and we, we see this goal clearly my the way, what is the difference between hunger for one of the one sort of 1000000000 people . and it's or table in car or new using new what the difference, it's much more during

attention. emily's always thinking, well, the number of people who have fled the board in ukraine has mel past the 3000000 mark more than half of them are in neighboring poland, where an army of volunteers is helping to open the door. a peaceful lunch in warsaw switzer and her son alex, i'll say the to ukrainians, fled keith and a staying with a family in warsaw. well, if we don't come good, my son and i lived underground for 5 days, a big seller under the house than we fled west through levine and across the border . it's very hard for us, especially mentally. i can still hear the sirens in my head and field explosions. you hear that but the city and then use which i don't know. ah, in warsaw alone, more than 4000 families took in refugees from ukraine. these are just the official figures, and demand continues to rise. trains from ukraine arrive at the station every day, full of refugees, more than 10000 warsaw residents have registered as well. and tis please read with them with a to him. i just started volunteering here 5 minutes ago and i've already been asked to help twice. i barely

so we are supporting ukraine with humanitarian financial, and mel a means and we will continue this support as it was. one of the situation in ukraine is a terrible one. millions of people of fled their homes within the country. but also, every day, many women and children and old people are fleeing the country as well. in poland alone, they are more than 2000000 refugees who have sought refuge there. and over 200000 are in germany as well. and this is only the beginning, the longer the war lasts, the more citizens will seek refuge here moving and they will find it just a few days after the russian invasion on the un joined forces and competency of the you particularly said they would take more refugees people feeling the war and i'm glad about all of the volunteers who for weeks now have been working to try to support the people who fled their homes and come quite, you know, to, you know, germany, they have opened their hearts for the people, fling ukraine and have opened their doors to them as well and their homes. so this is a wonderful example of european solidarity and talk to us. i ha

and in places like mel, it's a pole in the south. you've seen many civilians come rushing forward to try and block armored columns with their bodies. people actually putting their hands on the bonnets of armored vehicles, a soldier firing in the air. and one thing to note here was that the soldiers didn't, didn't try to drive through the crowd, didn't want to cause any injury. they seemed sympathetic to the situation. these people were in there almost polite the way they managed to get round the obstacle. there is a real bitterness amongst people arrest. well, they're either under ground desperate or either or trying to get on trains. half a 1000000 people at least have left the country. but when you consider the population of ukraine is around $40000000.00, then you get some idea of the scale that this human tragedy of the scale of what could happen next, which is likely to be a move on the capital of keith. a match sends a shiver down the bravest of hearts anderson and thank you very much. indeed. as you mentioned earlier, ukraine'
